Outreach
For the public
Transforming education
The Center for Biology and Society is committed to making science accessible to the public. We accomplish this through a variety of digital projects that use methods from history and philosophy to contextualize the scientific process.
AAAS and Center for Biology and Society
Barrett, The Honors College and the Center for Biology and Society are teaming up to offer mentorship and travel funding awards to attend the AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) Annual Meeting for students across all science and social science disciplines. Each year, students travel to present research posters and attend exciting meetings.
The Embryo Project Encyclopedia
The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (EPE) is an online, Open Access encyclopedia that reveals how scientists think by showing readers the history of embryology, developmental biology, and reproductive medicine. The EPE publishes articles, photographs, graphics, and exhibits, and is aimed at those who have between a ninth grade and undergraduate education.
The MBL History Project
The MBL History Project seeks to bring to public attention the rich history of the Marine Biological Laboratory, located in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The MBL has been home to many award-winning scientists, and this innovative project documents that history for the public by digitizing the MBL's archives, creating digital exhibits that put the science of the institution into context for a large audience to enjoy.
